Review of Money Faucet
[Following is a volunteer review of "Money Faucet" by Joe Calderwood.]
In the book Money Faucet by Joe Calderwood, a young man Clint, enters the office of his rival and finds him dead. What does he do, does he call the police? What if he's charged with the murder? Or was he already a criminal?
One of the things that intrigues me about any book I read is how detailed and graphic the descriptions are. I love books that the author took time and detail to describe actions, looks, and sceneries. The author actually did a good job with his descriptions in the book. Take for example, "Wait… I moved my eyes to scan all the surfaces in the room—the dented desk, the bare, crusty floor, the rusted file cabinets, the credenza which was spattered with too much gray matter for my taste." This type of description creates a good mental picture in the mind of the reader and makes his reading experiential.
I love how the author structured the storyline. He employed certain literary devices, he began the story with foreshadowing. It threw me off-guard and raised my curiosity. Although the author often veered off points in the story, he always brings the story back on course in a skillful manner without the awareness of the reader. He also ran different storylines side by side at the same time. Towards the end of the story, he joined all the bits and pieces; the different storylines together. With all these twists and turns the story turned out to be a very engaging and thrilling reading experience for me. I was constantly kept in suspense especially towards the end of the book.
The author added a kind of uniqueness to the plot. The structure of the book is not very common. It was written in the form of a journal, with dates and locations clearly recorded. As if Clint was recounting his experience in a book. At one point in my reading, I thought the book was a true life story. I applaud the author's sense of uniqueness and the creativity he put into the construct of the book.
The characterisation of the book is also unique. The point of view employed by the author is first person narration style. Hence, there was not much effort made for the reader to interact with the characters in the book, and get to know them very well, but I love how the author compensated for that by introducing the traits and characteristics of different characters using storytelling.
There's nothing that I disliked about the book.
The editors did a good job with the book. I only found two errors in the entire book. I'd rate the book four out of four stars. I'd recommend it to a fiction story lover especially lovers of crime and mystery genre.
